What exactly is your relation to Puppetworks? Are you guys simply a client, or something more than that? Is this why splash arts take longer to complete?
I'm honestly confused.
We sometimes use studios such as this to supplement our in-house artists. This is a pretty common practice in the industry in general. We'd need an army of artists internally to do certain tasks, and that sometimes just isn't logistically feasible.
So, Puppetworks and others help us to produce assets, in this case, splash art.
It's exactly the opposite of splashes taking longer. The amount of splash art to catch up on is huge, studios such as these really help us out.
Nice :]
